^^ Just a little something to make your day ;)
⚔Castor Cruz⚔
I raised an eyebrow quizzically at the man as he came in with two racks full of clothes and accessories.
The rest of the house was quiet which meant they were all asleep. The rack which was obviously Leila's held several bikinis, one-pieces, playsuits and a few other assortments. Mine had just board shorts and a few tank tops.
I turned to Lucy, "You seriously got racks of items for just one outfit each?"
She frowned, "We have to see what will look the best."
Lucy scanned Leila's rack first, "We can get rid of the bikinis. Might not be suitable... and the one pieces are so last season."
The man gasped, "Lucy! None of my creations are last season!"
Lucy sniffed loudly, "Go try these two on," she held out two outfits to Leila. She scampered into the bathroom across the hall. Lucy held out a pair of board shorts at my waist, "We'll go topless I think. With..." she scanned for a different pair of board shorts, "With these."
I glanced down at the bright blue board shorts.
Lucy nodded to herself and threw the board shorts onto Uncle Sam's desk and then stuffed a pair of thick black sunglasses on my face, "Perfect."

I leaned against Alex's doorframe, "People are already milling about on the beach..."
A group of teenage girls were sitting, tanning on the sun, eating chocolate chip muffins, at seven a.m. in the morning. A group of guys were already lining up for the meet 'n' greet. A semi-familiar strawberry blonde was heading up the driveway. I punched Alex, "Dude..."
Alex almost spilled his gatorade on his bare stomach, "Man!"
He scowled at me, "What?"
I gestured, "Isn't that you girlfriend?"
Alex smirked, "I wish..."
I opened the door and called, "Hey Sasha!"
Her eyes widened when she saw me, "Y-you know my name?"
"Of course," I smirked, "I only just met you."
She smiled brightly, "Thanks Cruz."
"Call me Castor," I rolled my eyes, "I'm gonna go find Leila. Alex is inside."
I pushed through the open door past the pre-teen and headed halfway up the driveway before I saw the supermodel and her entourage coming towards me.
Her entourage consisted of Lucy, Andrew and Steph. She was sipping on a tea and looked like something out of a movie in a sexy white lacy two-piece. Leila smiled when she saw me, "Well, Jerk, your hair is looking pretty wild."
I grudgingly ran a hand through my tousled dark hair. I slid on my sunglasses, "Hey, without your makeup I can see that your lips are naturally that colour."
She poked her tongue out at me as she slid on her own sunglasses. Lucy squealed, "You two look so damn gorgeous together."
Andrew grinned wildly, "Let's get down to the beach and start interviewing, yeah?"
Steph bounced up and down on the balls of her feet, "This is so cool!"
I put an arm around my step-cousin's shoulders, "You're going to sit behind us, okay? Become semi-famous by association."
Leila smirked, "Don't forget that I'm the reason you're famous, Ken."
"Yeah, yeah, Barbie," I rolled my eyes and let go of Steph, joining Leila. She bounced down the driveway, full of energy and I strolled along more casually, the morning sun hitting my bare six-pack.
I put an arm around her shoulders and tugged her closer. The group of girls screeched, "Oh my god, it's Leila and Cruz!"
"Leila's so much prettier in real life," one mused.
"Cruz is a babe," one cooed.
I chuckled softly and glanced down at Leila. Leila half-waved to the girls, "Hey there!"
They fell silent.
Steph fell into time with us, "This. Is. Beyond. Cool."
Leila giggled softly, "Of course it is for you."
Steph blushed, "Do you do this all the time?"
"Not me," I said with a chuckle.
Steph glanced up at Leila. Leila smiled gently, "I might. But only a few times a year."
Steph squealed like only girls can and I winced, "Still. It's amazing!"
As soon as my and Leila's feet touched down on the sand we were swamped by three large men in black suits with walkie talkies.
Body guards?
Awesome.
Leila's hand wrapped around my waist and she smiled up at me, "Enjoying the fame, Cruz."
I smirked, "You know it, Perez."
"I never thought I'd end up here with you," she blushed, "I mean, you were a rotten jerk when I first met you."
"And you were an adorable little nerd," I cooed, mockingly.
She giggled slightly, "Por cierto, todavía quiero mi ropa."
I smirked, "Maybe as a Christmas present we'll see."
She scowled, "They were mine to begin with."
I chuckled softly and we sat down in two chairs set up on a small stage with a raised platform.
A man boomed over the microphone, "The meet 'n' greet will begin in approximately thirty minutes. In the meantime, our stars suggest you buy something to eat from the food stalls or check out their merchandise from their new fashion line - Leila & Cruz."
Leila gripped my hand, "How cool is this?"
Steph appeared with us, "The bodyguards let me in because I walked down the driveway with you, how cool is that?"
I smirked.
Steph blushed and looked at her feet.
Leila asked softly, "What is it, Stephanie?"
Steph smiled shyly, "Do you think it would be possible to get a picture with the both of you?"
"You have tons of pictures of me, Steph," I frowned.
"The three of us," she scowled.
I chuckled and Leila smiled brightly, "Selfie time."
